I’ll be taking a break from our regularly scheduled efforts to convince you that "Seeking the Elephant" is worth your hard earned monies to pre-order. We still have time to reach our 250 goal, and we’re doing great.

Today, I’d rather convince you that Tabi Card’sScribbles: A Collection of Words is worth those hard earned monies. I’ve been following Scribbles for a while, and was thrilled to order my copy. It experiments with and plays narrative styles like a musical instrument, it’s a pleasure to read, and I genuinely hope that she can make her goal. I don’t want my $10 back! She has 3-days left to make her goal, so please jump over now and help her out!

"Seeking the Elephant" has nearly 150 followers, and I’d like to take a second to ask for your support in generating Recommends & Reviews! These are invaluable here on Inkshares, and I am happy to offer the same to any books for writers I may have missed! I get busy with real life work and don’t always get to read as much as I’d like. This support means the world and gives us more to work with promoting!

This is a very thrilling day! I just received the final book cover for Seeking the Elephant. Going into an Inkshares campaign I hadn’t realized how visual promotions needed to be. After suffering through some basic photography for the last few months, we are now able to put a cover on this.

The artwork is amazing, and captures the protagonist, Maggi Lopez, perfectly. It’s a strange thing to watch a woman who existed only in your imagination for so long, look back at you!

We’re almost 1\3 of the way to our Quills Goal of 250 copies! To celebrate, we want to announce a raffle -- We’re giving away a $50 Amazon gift card! You can use this card to buy anything you’d like, as a gift from the team behind Seeking the Elephant! How can you qualify? Purchase or recommend Seeking the Elephant in the next 10 days! Between NOW and 4\28, 12:00 PM PST, all orders & recommendations enter you into a drawing for this $50 gift card!

Yesterday was one of the proudest days in my life; Seeking the Elephant was chosen as Break the Bechdel with Strong Female Characters Syndicate’s book of the month for April! I really wasn’t sure what kind of chance we possible had, Seeking the Elephant is a relative newbie to Inkshares, and we’re less than 3 weeks into our pre-order campaign. The was amazing, and I want to thank the Janna Grace & the Syndicate!

"Molisani’s Seeking the Elephant is not only a wonderful story with ghosts and ancient gods in a post-apocalyptic America, but we explore this world through the eyes of a female character you’ll never forget. She is fully developed, flawed and strong, and will draw you in from the first page."

Now, to celebrate! I promised, earlier in the week that I would write a short-story, set in the universe of Seeking the Elephant, specifically as a thank-you gift for the members of Break the Bechdel with Strong Female Characters Syndicate. Jealous? Well you should have been a member!

No, I’m not that mean! I will ALSO give this story, once complete, to ANY pre-orders who come in this weekend! I’d love to 8 more sales before Monday so we can hit an even 80 orders! So jump in quick folks! Help us celebrate this wonderful weekend NOW!

If you’re already a member of this Syndicate, make sure to cast your vote for Seeking the Elephant!If you’re not already a member, I personally recommend you do join! There’s a lot of great talent & great projects here to support!
